Sounds on Screen: Taiwanese New Wave
Taipei, 10.03.21
Soundtrack cuts from a fruitful period of Taiwanese cinema in the 1980s and 1990s, where the small nation punched well above its weight culturally, birthing the careers of auteurs like Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, and multiple academy award-winner Ang Lee.
"New Taiwanese films aren’t exactly action-packed. If you weren’t in a charitable mood, for instance, you could say that films like Rebels of the Neon God and Vive L’Amour are really just about a bunch of people who look sad, wander around impersonal city landscapes, and feel that life is pointless." - Andrew Emerson, Film Inquiry
